Cabs?

How much different were the large full duty truck cabs different from the standard 1/2 & 3/4 ton cabs?

Any pics would help, thanks!

More specifically the C/K 40-60 series usefulness on a c-20? I can see where the door has a small cut out in the front lower, but how much different is the cab underneath?

Re: Cabs?

Isn't the tunnel lower and firewall flatter on the big truck cabs?

Tried an internet picture search to no avail, that is an interesting point.

Re: Cabs?

I seem to recall reading that somewhere; but from memory, I'm pretty sure my '75 C65 floor is much lower/flatter than any of my 80's suburbans or blazers were.

The pics I'm seeing of the rear cab corners look identical.
